Fans run the ship for a week: Clausen

There is only one discussion I'd like to raise..

To those who want Clausen cut, released, bagged and deported, etc..

You get 1 week to run the Panther Organization and one decision to make: What to do with Clausen?

I see a lot of you say Clausen should get released in some fashion.. so when you cut Clausen, what options do you have to fill that backup role?

you have 3 roster spots..

Well, there is a huge difference between looking for QBs week 9 of a season......and before a season starts.

New HCs generally move on from the QB roster leftover very quickly.

I think Rivera drafts Cam and brings in a vet....that leaves 1 spot up for real competition.

If I were Rivera I would want my 3rd spot to be filled by a young guy who fits what my offense asks of a QB. I would bring in Matt Moore type QBs to compete with Jimmy and Pike. Best man gets the job. I don't see Clausen beating out Moore caliber QBs (and there are plenty to be found prior to the start of a season by one means or another).

Clausen doesn't appear to fit what Chud claims to be about......and he looked like a train wreck (one of the worst rookie performances in 20 years). Why waste a needed spot with a QB who doesn't fit the style of offense you run?

If Jerry brought in a WCO coach....my opinion on Jimmy would be different.

3 Jobs for Clausen.

First would be to use his arm to throw 1's for Cam at the strip club. Designated Rain Artist or something along those lines.

Second job would be to wear Cam's jewelry during practice and on game days. Keep his ice warm so to speak.

Third and most important job imo is to hold the clipboard and not step on to field unless it's garbage time. Or unless Cam needs some gatorade.

Draft Cam newton and sign Marc Bulger

Let Moore and Clausen fight for the 3rd spot

I would feel good about that situation..

the only point I was trying to make is to those who are blindly going around thinking Clausen needed cut after the 10th reg season game.. totally ignoring all other factors.

What about those of us that thought he should be cut before camp last season?

I agree it would be silly at this point even though i don't see him starting anytime soon.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
